Parking is insane, like most college campus stadiums. The seats are packed in so closely that people trying to get to the aisle to visit the loo, or enjoy a short and fast line at the concessions, must get pretty intimate with their seat neighbors. The upper deck is brutal. Miss me with those tickets! If you can get just under the overhang, though, you can have shelter from the elements even if you have an obstructed view. There are, literally, seats placed behind huge concrete supports and I've had tickets there. Had to laugh. Despite all of that, it's amazing. The amenities, including concessions and restroom facilities, are fast and easy. The stadium hosts the university's traditions and team with style. I love the VOLS, but my first love is the Crimson and Cream. I have to say that Knoxville has been very hospitable to my friends from Norman, Oklahoma. If you get the chance, go to a game here. You won't regret it.

Savannah Banana Baseball at Neyland Stadium, nothing quite like watching a baseball game with over…read more100,000 fans, and that's exactly what we did on May 23rd. I'm a huge baseball fan, but as a true fan, I had my concerns on this one. So maybe this doesn't work for the baseball purist, but for the casual fan, for the kids, this is most akin to the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. There's a lot of slapstick humor stuff, but there are no dull moments and there is something going on every moment you are in attendance. Quite honestly, as a former player, some of the tricks even leave me scratching my head. It's action packed entertainment from beginning to end, and there's even a little baseball played as well. It is certainly worth at least a look, even for the purist.

This is a large park with baseball fields, a walking trail, a large covered pavilion and a playground. It was a really nice walk that I enjoyed. The parking lot isn't nearly large enough if there's a big sports game going on. Arrive early. And as for the folks hanging out who squealed their tires as they left, I'm not a narc.

So many events take place in this older, but huge arena. Last night, my family went to a Lady Vols…read morebasketball game (where they whomped UT Chattanooga!). We wandered around for about 30 minutes prior to the game trying to find a ticket booth that was open. Once we found our way inside, the space was clean and easy to navigate with many friendly staff. Likely due to the holidays and many student workers being out of town, the usual experience was greatly pared down with no band, dance team, halftime show, etc. We still had an amazing time! The music consisted of all of my 90's/early 00's jams and lots of fan interaction with the MC and Smokey the mascot. There are suites available and the seats in the "normal humans" sections are padded and comfy, all with pretty decent views. There are areas to purchase UT gear and an abundance of concessions to be nom'd (Papa John's, Petro's, snocones, pretzels, etc. You can use credit cards and prices seem pretty typical. They event have $1 large popcorn which was great, but a bottle of water was $4. ha! Don't forget to bring approved, clear bags when you go to the arena (or any of the large university venues/events).

What an upgrade from the park in Sevierville! My husband and I got seats in row 1 on 1st baseline…read moreand got to the stadium early enough to explore. There is a small team store outside but the one inside the stadium is far better selection-wise (Smokies, Cubs, and basic TN apparel)...albeit still small and crowded. There are condo buildings on infield sides of the park overlooking the field. We felt bad for whomever owns the condos directly above the kid play area on 3rd baseline (slides and play gyms galore). It was wild. The coolest part was that you could walk around the entire stadium via a bridge walking over a creek in the outfield. There is a ton of standing room over by the bullpens with counters for food and drink. We also really liked that at the concourse level, you can purchase a 4 top table as your seats, which had a great view, tables for yummies, and easy access to vendors and restrooms. Would be great for a double date or a family of four. Great sound system and Jumbotron. The suites are far more expensive than at the last stadium, making an outing with friends or colleagues a bit unattainable for educators like us in those previously enjoyed spaces. There are a lot of food options for nachos, pretzels, Philly steaks, hot dogs, etc. There is a BBQ spot and a special seating area for the Bush's Baked Beans BBQ buffet area (which seemed popular). We loved the ice cream stand with shaved ice galore, hard scoop OR soft serve options. I got a single twist in a cup and it was huge. Average/expected prices and cashless only. The slight downsides-there was a rain delay without an abundance of covered areas. The drainage at our row 1 seats was poor and a huge puddle formed during the rain and remained. Everyone around us kept saying, "thats unfortunate...especially for pricier seats." Secondly, there were a ton of beer options, including local, which was cool. However, not many cocktail spots.

It is also not very ADA friendly. Overall, the new stadium is a massive downgrade. Went to the Savannah Banana game where they offered SRO tickets. They have no designated standing area. All places to stand obstruct your view in some way. You feel like you're being a nuisance and being treated like one. Employees complained to other employees about SRO ticket holders "being in the way" right in front of said SRO ticket holders. Employees and others attending treated SRO ticket holders like absolute scum. DO NOT OFFER SRO IF YOU DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE A PLACE FOR THEM TO STAND AND ACTUALLY ENJOY THEIR EXPERIENCE. Every single person I saw standing really looked disappointed the entire time. We ended up leaving an hour and a half early because none of us were enjoying ourselves. Absolute waste of $175 plus what we spent inside the stadium. They really dropped the ball on this one. Also, parking SUCKS.

What a great night cheering on Lady Vols Soccer. The stadium opened 1.5 hours before the game and…read morethey had a tons of giveaways and promotions as they tried to beat their attendance record. I wouldn't be surprised if they did because that was the most people I have ever seen at a collegiate soccer game. There were programs, signed pics of Smokey, orange and white Pom poms, t-shirts for first 500 in line, pic opportunities with Smokey 10, bounce house, concession stands, food trucks (Goodwins). Overall, lively atmosphere and a lot to see and do. Parking and accessing stands was easy and cost to attend was free! Can't get much better than that. We sat in the second row up (you have super obstructed views of the field in 1st row) due to small kids who don't do stairs well. I would recommend 4th row and up if you can with so many people walking and stopping in front of you. Very family-friendly, with the exception of no mask mandate for kids in the crowded bounce houses. Can't wait to come back!
